The Pancakes and Booze Art Show comes to Underground Arts Saturday. What a concept! You pay a small entrance fee that entitles you to All-U-Can-Eat Pancake Bar. There’s a cash bar for drinks and on display the works of over 50 emerging artists in painting, sculpture, photography and other media. There’s body painting and music by DJ Adam Bennett. The event is for ages 21+ only.

The last Franklin Flea of the summer is Saturday! More than 50 vendors are making their way down to General George A. McCall Elementary and Middle School to display their goods next to the biggest selection of food that the market has seen thus far.
